OK Bill. Yesterday, while frying up bacon and cheesy eggs, I also started a sirloin tip roast in the slow cooker. Now I have to give you all the details, because I do actually cook. I am just not that good at it. Or should I say, it's edible, but not chef worthy. So, with the roast I put in a can of french onion soup, water, potatoes, carrots, and onions. I let it cook all day. Had reheated leftover pizza for lunch. Suppertime comes, the roast is excellent, juicy and tender. The veggies, however, were blah. Now we are supposed to have this leftover for supper tonight. What do you suggest I add to flavor up the veggies?

Gravy! l.o.l... If not fattening enough , more butter!
Them onions are just going to pout. Mushrooms can help but outside of morels and portabello's (sp.) most mushrooms taste more like what they are cooked/sauteed with.
Taters usually are fine after such a cooking.
Carrots too.

Not sure of health and diets there at your place , seasoned salt without salt (ahh , ya, seasoning similar anyways) might help.
We run a pepper garlic powder. Well ,not really powder . "McCormick perfect pinch" line.
I'm a fan of fresh ground (med coarse) pepper (on a individuals plated serving at time to eat it time) to liven up a blah tater or veggie.

Toasted almond slivers go good on some things.(Green beans with garlic is one good example) A small dish and spoon allows sharing germs on the spoon ,and individual preference as to hom much goes where.


When unsupervised , I add a cup of strong coffee to roasts...

WD,

Another little trick at serving time is a squirt of lemon juice or zest it helps to up the flavor.

This in addition to the monitoring and enforced quarantine of those arriving at Florida airports.

ECS,

If you look at the daily new infection rates not a bad idea. Unfortunately this is going to get worse before it gets better.

Let's hope it plateaus shortly because the hospital system is going to get maxed out otherwise.

I went with what I have on hand: black pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. When I told Mr WD that I was doctoring it up because the veggies were blah, he said, " Everything tasted fine yesterday. You were just tasting rum punch." I thought it tasted better tonight, but there was still a hint of the flavor I tasted yesterday. I believe it was the french onion soup. I am not used to eating that processed food stuff, and I think my taste buds rejected it.

Anyways, thanks for the tips guys. I guess when I get out and about, I need to stock up on better, wholesome ingredients.

We have kin around Meridian.
I shouldn't badmouth a state , but sometimes parts of Mississippi are like an armpit! And their medical years ago was horrendous...One hospital was anyways.
And it's not because of the land that comprises the state that makes it bad...

Chris,

I agree lots of options available for compact gardening and with this virus crap going on not a bad idea to produce at least some of your food in case things get really crazy.

WD,

Smart thinking even most of the high end chefs tell you a recipe is just a guideline and to use whatever you like or have on hand.

Lots of the classic recipes were 2nd rate ingredients that they fancied up.

Here's an example a famous French recipe is coq au vin. Just a fancy name for a stewing hen or old rooster that they marinated and cooked in wine to tenderize it and make it edible. Next cooking lesson tomorrow grasshopper....
